Introduction

6/30/2015

 
Welcome to TweenReading.com!  In this blog, I plan to write about the books that I am reading - books designed for upper-elementary and middle school students.  As a classroom teacher and library media specialist I think its a good idea to read books written for the audience that I work with every day.  Of course, many of these books are well-written, literate, and quite enjoyable.

My career in teaching and librarianship is extensive -- I have 16 years experience as a teacher and another 16 as a school library media specialist.  Recently, I returned to library work after four years as a classroom computer skills teacher.  As I began to order books and recommend books to my students, I quickly realized that I was "out of the loop" when it came to current fiction books.  So - I began reading again. 

I would like to offer a special thanks to fellow teacher Wendy Langseth, who recommended Steven Layne's book Igniting a Passion for Reading.  Layne's book reminded me of the importance of reading, and the importance of being a good reading role model for my students.

Make sure to read the ABOUT page to learn about my approach to this blog, and the books that I read.

Have a great day, and happy reading!

Keith
